Askan didn't know whether he was coming on going, whether he wanted to go this way or that. He supposed he liked exploring, that the variety in landscapes was a nice change from his mountainous home but sometimes he wondered why he even bothered. Sooner rather than later he'd need to get his shit together, to figure out what he was going to do from here on out. He knew that packs dotted the land and maybe it'd be a good idea to sniff around and see if he could get some more info, but what then? Raelyn didn't seem to want to settle down and by no means was he tied to her but he could also see where she was coming from. Had he really wormed his way out from his Father's grip to just throw himself at the paws of yet another wolf? Hmph, maybe not.

With a huff Askan stomped to a stop as he finally took note of his surroundings, his eyes glaring like the midday sun above. The terrain was rocky, with jagged slopes and withered trees; not even an inch of snow to be seen. Had he known the name of this place Askan would have thought that it was fitting cause even at a glance he could tell it was a shit hole, that nothing lived or lingered here for a reason. He had no reason or desire to stay, if anything he probably should've headed back north to see if he could figure out where the hell Raelyn had gotten to, but instead he found himself staying put as he rested back on his haunches. His tail curled around his side as he let out a long withering sigh, his head bowed and shoulders hunched.

It had taken him a while but he'd figured out why he'd been so moody as of late. The life of a loner was filled with silence and solitude, he had too much time to think and mope and honestly...it wasn't doing him any good. Somethings were best left alone, there was a reason his anxieties and insecurities were kept in the back of his mind under lock and key. If he kept this up the mask would slip and his facade would unravel at the seams. He needed to get a grip of himself, to shake off the dust and just be. It was the only card he had left to play and if he threw that away cause he couldn't handle his own thoughts then maybe he should have just stayed at home like a good son, allowed himself to be groomed into the perfect heir.

"Fuck that!" Askan hissed to himself as he got to his paws, hackles raised and tail twitching in agitation.

He needed to hunt, to fight. Anything!
